Met Open's 100th Is Underway...

While the Barclays plays out at Plainfield, the MGA's Met Open is playing its 100th event at Winged Foot, with the final round set for Thursday on the recently restored East Course. You can view the scores here heading into the final round.

Bill Fields reviews this important event and its remarkable history in this New York Times piece.

But the Met Open endures: It will be contested this week over 54 holes at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., in a celebration of the tournament’s rich history as one of the oldest in the United States.

The 100th edition of the event — once a marquee tour stop and still one of the country’s strongest regional competitions — will begin Tuesday morning with a field of 138 on Winged Foot’s East Course, designed by A. W. Tillinghast and recently restored by Gil Hanse.

“It’s our flagship tournament,” said the three-time Met Open champion Darrell Kestner, director of golf at Deepdale Golf Club in Manhasset, N.Y. “There are so many really good players in this area. The event is played on classic courses that have stood the test of time and is basically run like a tour event.”

The MGA has put together videos commemorating the 100th, including a tribute to Winged Foot.
